What is the gender of lamp called in Hindi?

In Hindi, there is no specific gender assigned to the word "lamp" (दीपक, deepak).

Here's why:

* Hindi is a gendered language: This means that nouns are categorized as masculine, feminine, or neuter.

* "Deepak" is a masculine noun: However, this doesn't necessarily mean that all lamps are considered masculine.

* It's common to use neuter pronouns: For inanimate objects like lamps, it's more common to use the neuter pronoun "yah" (यह, this) rather than specifying gender.

Therefore, you can refer to a lamp as "yah deepak" (यह दीपक, this lamp) without assigning a specific gender.
